Good morning. It's easy to overlook the weather. However, executives are increasingly warning about the impact of an El Nino weather pattern emerging. The economic impact could rise to the trillions, as this weather pattern tends to last for several years.

While it's been largely quiet in the past few weeks, many small and regional banks remain beaten down. That's creating an opportunity for investors. Why?
